However, iPhone and iPad users in the territory could still face the loss of their 'push' email iCloud service as Motorola won a separate patent victory pertaining to the tech.

"All iPad and iPhone models will be back on sale through Apple's online store in Germany shortly," Apple said in a statement.

"Apple appealed this ruling because Motorola repeatedly refuses to license this patent to Apple on reasonable terms, despite having declared it an industry standard patent seven years ago."

Motorola's response suggested that the matter is far from resolved, with the firm vowing to continue its action against Apple, reports BBC News.

"We are pleased that the Mannheim court has recognized the importance of our intellectual property and granted an enforceable injunction in Germany against Apple Sales International," its statement read.

"Although the enforcement of the injunction has been temporarily suspended, Motorola Mobility will continue to pursue its claims against Apple."

Before Christmas, Apple filed patent claims of its own in the German market against Motorola, who is also locked in a similar dispute with Microsoft in the region.
